In case you didn’t see the alert on the top of our pages the past few days, we’ve had some difficulties with our former commenting system.

Former commenting system? Yes, you’re spot on. But have no fear, Spot.IM is here.

Our new commenting platform, powered by Spot.IM should seem familiar to you. Once you sign up for a Spot.IM account, you’ll be able to add comments with images and links like before, but know that any comments you make with images or links will have to go through moderation before you’ll see them on the site. If you have any questions please email contactus@cheezburger.com

You may also notice a new + sign on the left-hand side of the page. Click the + to see what other users are saying on the site and navigate to conversations you find interesting.

If you’re concerned about what happened to all your previous comments, worry not; they’re on their way. But for now, we’ll just have to work together to make new ones.

I think this may be it for me. I’ve been checking back on the site to see when the latest bug with the comment system was fixed, but it looks like they’re not planning to fix anything, just go to a new, even more censored system. Thanks for the humor you’ve provided. I’d like to thank all those CB commenters whose contributions I’ve enjoyed, but there doesn’t seem a good place for that. Maybe they’ll see this comment, and consider themselves thanked. If you continue with the site, good luck. Your going a need it, as its unlikely the mods you’re stuck with will of done better then the old one’s.

Gotta agree with BruceS. You are just adding new problems and showing no interest in fixing the old ones. Too many band-aids on tired poorly ran site. There are other humor sites out there that are better run that I’m going to waste my time on instead of CB. Good luck, good bye, it’s been real.

Agreed. I will miss a few people more than others. BruceS, I always look forward to your comments and believe it or not I will also miss Sleezburger. Quite a few of the regulars left with the last change and now the remaining few are giving up. I’m pretty sure CB doesn’t care because we went through this before.They will always have new people to keep it going. It’s a bummer because CuteOverload just cancelled their site and along with CB, that was the only other one I know of. Maybe we’ll see you around somewhere.

Good lock with the new comment system, personally I won’t be using it. Requiring 1 login for your profile and another just to comment is a tad ridiculous. The cheezeburger network needs to get their collective acts together and think it through. Unless you can incorporate the login system to also log into your profile I can promise you that your user base is going to shrink by a good percentage. I’m gonna go full rage by saying I knew this site’s programmers were mentally damaged, all this does is prove it.

This is worse than your pity party over (quite necessary on your site) ad-blockers. You can’t be trusted to pick advertising providers that can stay clean, so why should we even consider trusting a third party service that requires a 2nd log in just to add the funny half of your pages for free?

What, exactly, are you using your ad revenue for if not for competent web designers that can handle a friggin comment section on a page of cat pictures with terrible grammar? It’s sounding more and more like you just want the cash and don’t really care about the site anymore…so maybe we don’t either….

Agree. The site has become unusable. There are so many ads that take forever to load. It is rare anymore that I can watch a video within the site. All the background crap cause it to pause, buffer, skip, etc. I’m forced to pop it out and watch it directly on YouTube.

Listen, I get needing ad revenue. But you’ve got to balance it against having a usable site. Back in the day, I used to use eBaumsWorld. But have not been there in years due to the ads (and a couple viruses). I feel that Cheeseburger is heading in the same direction.

Why should I have to subject myself to a third party’s privacy policies (or lack thereof), the hassle of building a new account, and the distinct possibility of someone co-opting my username, so I may comment on a banal waste of time (yes, Cheez is frivolous entertainment, if you disagree, you may wish to reevaluate your life priorities)?
What, exactly, was the nature of the “problems” with your commenting system? Some more jaded users may speculate that it may not have been generating as much revenue as may be possible by selling user information through or to the new commenting system’s owner.
You were particularly vague in explaining your position. Please be more specific in describing what the problems were, why you chose to make this change, and how it will effect your users. Commenting systems have been on the internet, and attached to websites for decades. Decades, and they worked. Why has yours failed, and why have you chosen a solution that suggests significant pitfalls for your users, over repairing a damaged in-house system?
So far, I have not seen a followup from this article’s author, or anyone else purporting to represent the administration of this site. I would appreciate a response that addresses my concerns specifically. Thank you.

September 20, 2009Qusii! I miss you so much. Thank you, m&2r817;dea#, for your reassuring words. I know I have genuine friends, mumsy, and a hubby, that truly love me, and they won’t ever turn their back on me (this includes YOU). I think about you often and thought about calling you. I think I will sometime soon. Oh, we also popped in Shadow of the Colossus a few nights ago and thought of you. We love that game so! <3

..Sooo I try to join this new comment system, and I want to use the same username as my cheezburger account “IStartedwithYellowVersion” but when I type all that in (minus the quotes obviously) it tells me I have to use numbers and English letters and underscores and it gives me a little red X saying what I’ve chosen for a username isn’t valid. ….Um. What? I AM using English letters… NOTHING but English letters. Why is it not letting me use my username? (Or can someone at least tell me what this confusing error message should REALLY be saying?)

I find jack-booted fascists (like jmuhj) *extremely* offensive and hateful, the way they want strong-arm tactics used to silence anyone with whom they disagree. These people need to be kept out of adult conversations, and relegated to special forums for their own, evil kind. Maybe if they promised to stop trying to oppress everyone and force their own, narrow-minded views on us, they could be allowed to sit in and listen, but they should never be allowed to talk again. Their filth is just too toxic. Say “NO” to the Nazis!

So, I can comment here, on the almost unused blog since Ben and Emily left, but I can’t comment on what’s left of the daily LOLs without outsourcing for the “privilege”? Have ANY of you now on staff ever taken even a single business class? Do you not realize you have to offer something people actually want for them to show up at your site? Yeah, I know we’re not your “real” customers; those would be the advertisers to whom you seem to have enslaved yourselves. Looks like lots of other sites manage to find halfway decent advertisers, but not you guys. At any rate, even though we’re not the real customers, those real customers won’t be customers for long if You.End.Up.Driving.Away.All.The.Site.Users. DUH. The only thing that makes sense to me is that you are purposefully trying to drive the company into a landfill.

Why do you people keep pushing us into third party sites? At first I couldn’t comment on news articles without Disqus (which never worked) then Facebook (which I will not join…PERIOD), now YOU are forcing me into some other POS third party platform! To hell with that. I don’t need to comment that badly.

The comment system requires me to login EVERY time I visit the site. On top of that, you need to go to the Log In link, click the Sign Up button (lol wut?), click the Login tab, enter your login details and then actually click the Login button as it won’t accept submission by pressing enter. EVERY TIME!

This is dumb. No, I will not sign up for another account to comment on this site. In fact, I won’t even bother to sign in. For that matter, since what I think obviously makes no difference to you, I’m also removing ICHC from my whitelist. You don’t care about making my life harder, why should I give a rip about your revenue?

Not sure why I’m bothering with this. My comment will be so far down that neither user nor admin will see it… I thought I created an account with my email address and was able to respond to a message. Then I got an email from Animals asking me to finish creating my account. Clicked on the link and was taken back to the lol I commented on. Unless I’m blind or stupid, there was nothing there about my account. And after reading all the comments here, I’m even more discouraged and annoyed.

So now there’s four people posing as me in the comments: a “Locoguy107” who forgot to capitalize the “G,” a “TheActualLoc0,” a “TheRealLoco,” and “TheActuaILoco,” with a capital “i” acting as the first “l.” TheActualLoco, with a lowercase “L,” is me guys, so look out for the imposters. Teacko’s being incompetent and not looking at my proof of my validity ( http://youtu.be/vyquseTyKeA ), unless he so happens to have made all of those alts and is trying to piss me off. If that’s the case, congrats, you are a bigger @$$ then you were before.

HA HA HA I read your crap load of propaganda trying to convince people that every thing is so much better now that you complicated everything further and broke the last thing that actually still worked. Then you encourage us to read what other people have to say about how “great” the new system is.
LMAO YOU LOOK LIKE STARBUCKS AFTER THEIR RACE TOGETHER CAMPAIGN DEBACLE. NOT ONE COMMENT SAYS YOU PEOPLE HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND IN FACT IT APPEARS YOU HAVE FINALLY MANAGED TO ALIENATE THE LAST FEW PEOPLE WHO HELD ON. YOUR VIEWERSHIP IS ABOUT TO PLUMMET. BUT LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE. YOU CAN 3-D PRINT THE SLOPE OF YOUR VANISHING METRICS AND USE IT AS A WATER SLIDE INTO YOUR MUD PIT OF FAILURE.

Well, my imposter issue has been resolved, but an anonymous OliveBus claimed that he was the real Travis_Touchdown and that the TravisTouchdown who’s active in the comments now is a fake. Based on a recent spam comment from “TravisTouchdown,” I’m inclined to believe OliveBus.

Now if I can only delete the whiny comments I made here out of overreacting. X(

I thought it was the mad ramblings of someone whose mind had completely turned the corner after the stress of this latest degradation of the site. My poor old heart was full of pity and sympathy, which is like a politician’s heart being full of decency and honesty.

It keeps saying the email address or password are wrong, but I double-checked and made sure it was right. When I entered my address for password retrieval, I got a message saying the address wasn’t in the database, but I had it in my profile page. I thought I might have to sign up separately for the new comments, but nope. It said my username was taken, and I doubt someone else has it. I even tried signing up with a slightly different username, but I just got a generic error message. So I STILL can’t comment.

Well done cheezburger. You finally screwed it up for me.
The new commenting system is beyond crap, and after two days of searching I still can’t a way of stopping the never-ending stream of e-mails.
That just compounds your “We Can Has Ad Blocker Turned Off” request.
Have you any idea how annoying it is to have multiple ads on every single page, that you can’t filter or complain about… but which also autoplay video? What kind of crap is that?
You just don’t care anymore.
Guess what? Neither do I. Supported you almost from the very start. But now… pah.

Glad I have so very little to do with ICHC now days anyway. Left
because of mega stoopy ways. Now extra glad I did. I have an account
for only one specific purpose and it requires no extra signing up for censorship
accounts.

This isn’t the first time the comments system has lost data or been totally broken – and comments have been lost in previous incidents despite assurances that they would be recovered.

Now you’re moving to a whole new system, and I’ll be very surprised if you can restore all of the comments into the new system. Heaven knows you’ve had enough trouble maintaining your own systems in the past !

Your biggest asset is your COMMUNITY, and potentially throwing away big chunks of what the community has produced is the fastest way to destroy it. Nothing says “we don’t give a stuff about you any more” better than losing things people have posted.

I won’t be signing up to your new comment system – making people jump through multiple hoops to interact with the site is just going to drive them away. I know I’m visiting a lot less often than I used to !

The new comment system is crap. I go on cheezburger now, it says I am logged in, shows my username in the menu bar, but when I go to comment, it says I am a “guest”. I try to log in on the comment box, it gives me an error. I try to register a new account in the comment box, it gives me an error. So apparently all I can do is leave comments as a guest. Where is the fun in that?

As for downvoting… forget about it. Half the fun of the cheezeburger comment section was the trolls. Downvoting gets rid of trolls, and getting rid of trolls gets rid of the humor along with them. Smooth move.

Put me in the “what comments” camp. I haven’t seen comments here since the excellent system we had years ago was scrapped (and took many wonderful comments with it, some that were the result of people researching the photo in their lol).

I don’t come around much anymore, because not much works here anymore. Why can’t I fave a picture now unless it’s on my dashboard? I couldn’t even fave my own lol until someone else faved it.

BTW, someone on staff offered me a chance to beta some sort of change made on the website. He said he’d “ping” me in September.

It’s six months later, and I’m still waiting.

So now you’re going to moderate everyone’s comments? Check out CBC.ca to see how well that goes – some comments are left in the queue for 15 HOURS. Stuff like that tends to stifle conversation.
